While it is hard to argue with the I Ching about stones, thorns, ignorance (innocence) and misfortune, or with master Sun concerning remuneration of spies, readers should be aware other sources are less reliable. Though admitedly unqualified to comment on the EU, or habits of national leaders, I doubt ancient Greeks had this in mind.

I attempted to download the mini version only to find that I was unable to save this as a mulltisession DVD. Additionally it also required Nvidia drivers to resolve the screen splitting. The top of the page is shown below the start menu button and you have to mess about with the cursor to get anywhere. I was able to download the driver but the inability to save has left me waiting impatiently on a solution.

Looks good but too frustrating to keep messing about with settings and then having to go around again and again resetting things.

NVidia:
The propriatary Nvidia-drivers are in addons-LANGUAGE_083.sfs.
They are very huge.
So you must get that loaded.
Try xvesa, if xorg fails.
Then shutdown, to create the savefile and get the bootmanager dialog.
There choose the addons and reboot.
Then Exit X, run xorgwizard again, and "xwin".
Now you should be offered to install the NVidia-drivers.

If you cannot get so far, try Standard, that already includes them at first startup directly from CD.

Apart from the fixes, there is only one major change:
zmsy_083.sfs is no longer included in the standard iso, as all drivers are already in msy_083.sfs.
I wonder, if that might cause your problem.
I will upload a Test-Iso, where it is included again.
It will take 3 hours or so, I will give you the link then.

It is completely obscure (to me) why anyone would want to use dedicated video drivers with a compact distro, especially mini-Muppy. I know these are quality offerings, but, surely, the intention is to provide a basic functionality. Derivatives like wNOP can experiment with Compiz-Fusion & co and gamers can get a PS3 or Wii. The major distros offer kitchen sinks. Otherwise diminishing returns and a waste of Mark's valuable coding time? Wood for trees, again - focus, please.

updated goodies_083.sfs,

Special thanks to muggins and kirk, who packaged many of them.
There are some "shooters" included, but no ultraviolent, realistic games.

So I think it is ok to add them to a "family system".
For more heavy games look for the extra-CD "hurt-me-plenty".

until now I just used frugal installations, not multisession.
I never had a bugreport concerning this.
Had you tried Puppy 3 before with multisession? Did that work?

no, I don't have it any more.
But I could upload in maybe a week, from our backup server when I'm back in the north.
Did you use an existing savefile, or also a new one?
